ROCK AND STONE BROTHER!

the binding of isaac and deep rock galactic. best games I’ve ever played oh and maybe minecraft (I’m 28 and the past 2 weeks got into the mc rabbit hole AGAIN)

huh, TIL, thanks

I really need to test them as well. Being ~100GB each is quite good for me, I won’t need more than 100 for my whole life

I get it about stuff that you don’t really care about But if I spend a day looking for a specific movie, I’m taking it to my grave

Damn I read “my cat needed to be enthusiased and I just received her ashes” and though WTF did you do to make her so excited?

side note: enthusiased is not an english word but in greek (ενθουσιασμενος) it makes sense and it translates to “excited”

I’m so happy about steam’s monopoly. I almost feel like they’re there for us, they broke capitalism

exactly that, INCLUDING server-side binaries to re-create any online features

I could argue that the source code should become public domain as well but we already sound like crazy people

discs are a personal archiving solution (quite a bad one too, unless you’re into m-discs n stuff) and do not solve the data accessibility issue (copying it is labor intensive and needs human interaction, in contrast to a torrent)

Just a side note that M-DISC exists which is essentially a blue ray disk with a claimed longevity of a thousand years (strong emphasis on “claimed”. there’s a lot of controversy around it)

but yes the only way to retain access is piracy as it allows people that didn’t have the media to get it

what’s rd?

as more people use a software it’s not easier to find exploits but much more profitable - and you see that propagate, as in:

• More people start to use a software
• Inevitably it gets hacked - by a kid most probably
• The company starts panicking due to bad press
• They start fixing the security bugs
• (some years pass)
• Now its quite difficult to find exploit as many security bugs have been fixed
• Exploit prices skyrocket since it would affect many users and it’s difficult to develop
• Bug bounty skyrockets since the exploits are so pricey

Now the last 2 steps tend to cycle since the security of the product fluctuates

Now the above have nothing to do with “residual” products - such as custom roms. And actually, you have so many deeply specialized people around the main product that finding a bug and developing an exploit on the residual is just a matter of “who the fuck cares”.

So you’re basing your security of your phone on “care”, also known as security through obscurity (some times at least).

Another example of “who cares” security is libreoffice. When I started as a security engineer the veteran (and boss) referred to it as training material to find security bugs. I found some, but who cares? Ain’t nobody gonna pay for them as “nobody” uses the software (keep in mind that we’re referring to millions of daily users rather than thousands per month)

Sorry for sheet! ❤️ Be safe and use a password manager

hmmm depends on the phone and what you mean difficult. If you’ve managed to format a computer you’ll be fine. If you’re having trouble downloading chrome or office, maybe think about it again - I’m not saying you shouldn’t try or learn (everybody can learn), Im just saying that it will require an amount of time that I imagine would be uncomfortable to a user that don’t wanna bother downloading a program.

Not all people enjoy computers!

that “security update” quickly gets irrelevant as the exploits for lineage (or any non-standard rom) sells for pennies compared to a stock exploit. also no one’s paying security researchers to assess lineage - also it would be completely impossible with the amount of updates and devices they release

remember that (unfortunately) security is all about money

just a side note for graphene: i have the feeling that it’s not for everyone. “too much” security tends to get in the UX way

just tried it and it works
